FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No.-464,276, dated :December 1, 1891'. Application led December 9, 189.0. Serial No. 374,010. (No model.)

To all whom t mag/concern: i

Be it known that I, ANSON lV. DELANE, a citizen of the United States,l residingat San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improved Faucet, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of fau-i' 'cets in which two tubes are scope together to open or close a port through.

arranged to telewhich the liquid iiows.

The object of myinvention is to reduce the cost of the faucet and increase its simplicity, i

eiiiciency, and convenience.

My improved faucet consists of two piecesviz'., an outer and an inner telescoping tubeeach of which may be formed of pressed copper or other suitable material at a very slight prepared with but little labor for combination with each other to form the faucet, as hereinafter set forth. v The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure l is a sectional view of a vessel provided with-ruy improved faucet adjusted to allow the passage of the liquid. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal mid-section of Fig. 1, viewed from the'other side. Fig. 3 is a like view showing the tubes adj usted to close the passage through the faucet. Fig. 4 is a crosssection of the faucet at right angles to its axis,

showing the oval form of the tubes.

The case or outer tube A is closed at its inner end, and is provided at its outer end (which is open to receive the inner tube D) with 'a plain iiange G, by which the case AA may be soldered to the wall C of the can or other vessel.

The case A is provided with the intermediate port B between the end of the case A and the wall C of the vessel. l

The inner or telescoping tube D is open at its inner end and closed at its outer end, near which it is provided with the intermediate discharge-port E, arranged at a slight distance fromthe end of the tube to leave .between the port and the closed outer end of the tube a portion of the wall of the tube intact to engage the case when the faucet is 'which serves as a closed, and thus assist in preventing of the oil or other liquid. The inner or open end of, the telescoping tube is provided with a forward and laterally-projecting springtongue F, which is formed of the side wall of` ing tube.

The tube D is it can be drawn out. Vhen the'tube D is pushed into the'case to spring tongue or catch F the side of the tube D tube closes the side is pressed iiush with port B, while the discharge-port E becomes closed by the bottom' perfectly closing the fau-. oval :in cross-section and; thus preventing the to disarrange the of the case A, thus cet. The tubes are lit each other exactly, inner tube from turning faucet. Ifthe tubes were made circular in cross-section, the inner tube would be liableto turn, thus bringing the dischargesportE any liow` pulled out toopen such port. The spring-'tongue thus serves as a catch to vent the complete withdrawal ofthe telescopclose the faucet, 'the provided with a i'iange II,

handle or catch by which andthe wall of theI to the side or top of the faucet instead of at,

thevbottom, as shown, and the spring-tongue i catch F would be brought out of alignment with the port B, thus allo'wing the inner tube of the faucet.'

By means of the construction shown I avoid the necessity 'of any packing between the tubes,

pressed by suitable dies intoproper form, the

ports and spring-catch being then formed by suitable machinery ata minimum cost When the tubes are thus completed, the faucet is nished by scoping tube into the case.

Now having described my invention, what v and the manufacture of myimprovedv faucet consists, simply, of the formation of the two tubes, which, with their flanges, may beto be withdrawn and destroying the efficiency the simple insertion of the telei',
